    The Griot's lineup is massive. With the chemicals, Autobarn would have done the same thing that's happened with Chemical Guys, Gyeon and Gtechniq that are now sold in box stores. In that I mean keeping the product mix very weekend warrior friendly...............which is why there are a lot of...

    I and many others feel Supercars didn't pay enough respect to Allan last weekend at the season ending round in Adelaide. Allan was as influential and important to the sport as Brock.

    Last night, an Autogeek friend of mine brought something to my attention, that Griot's Garage have just appeared in Autobarn stores. Who? Well, in the US Griots has long been a respected detailing brand, sitting above the likes of Meguiar's and Turtle Wax as a premium alternative. A family-owned...

    I've been suffering from fatigue over the last couple of days, no doubt the result of the last 10-days. But I push on......................... Yesterday I gave the Ranger it's weekly wash, and having rained, it was covered in road film. Today it was the Wildtrak's turn, again covered in grime...
  8. That awesome exhaust note!

    You can also use a solvent on that black stuff to dissolve it, I had it on the exhaust tips and used a tar remover to lift it off, but turps would work as well.

    Odd, and you shook the bottle before use? I will say, CES is probably a sheeter more than a beader, but it should still have transformed the paint. Did it at least create noticeable slickness?

    What was your dose rate with CES? Did you foam and rinse, or use it as a bucket contact wash?

    2025 XR6 Detail – Part 3 The following post covers the finishing touches. Glass – With the glass polished, it was time to get something back on it. After removing all of the remaining tape from the vehicle, I went around with a towel and Carpro Eraser to lift off any remaining polish...

    2025 XR6 Detail – Part 2 Picking up where I left of, that means more polishing, most of which being the more intricated areas. Polishing (continued) - Because I hate polishing front bumpers, I decided to get this out of the way first. Before starting, I added some additional taping around fog...

    2025 XR6 Detail The time has come to give the XR6 some love. I last polished this car in December 2020, and in truth, its needed attention for a while now. Thing is, with how many times I’ve polished this car over its 17-year life, I’m starting to get nervous about how much clearcoat I have...
  14. Vale Allan Moffat - Australian Ford Royalty

    Without doubt, Allan Moffat created generations of Ford fans. While he also raced other brands, and at one point crossed the divide, Allan is most famous for his racing efforts in Mustang's and Falcon's spanning multiple decades. His race wins in GTHO Falcon's gave Ford a massive image boost and...
  15. This Just Got Real!

    What a total legend! Allan raced before my time, but even as a budding Ford man, I knew exactly who he was and what he meant to the Ford faithful. He's one of the reasons why Falcon became the success it was, without his racetrack presence, Falcon was just another car. Back in the late 2000's...

    Happy Friday!! :sunglasses: For today, the mighty XR8 was next in line. I had planned on filming this, but I didn't think viewers would want to hear an arborist running a woodchipper at full tilt the next street over. These are my favorite wheels to clean! Wheel Cleaning - Tyres scrubbed...

    While not completely universal, polishing liquids degrade with exposure to air and temperature extremes. This is usually from the solvents evaporating and leaving a thicker consistency, chemical separation, or even drying up completely. This is why it's important to close the cap between panels...
